Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up fully

Check if the radiator needs bleeding to release trapped air. Ensure radiator valves are fully open and that the central heating system is functioning correctly.

Leaking from connections

Check that all connections, including valve fittings, are securely tightened. If leaks persist, contact a qualified plumber.

Noise from the radiator

Gurgling sounds often indicate trapped air and the need for bleeding. Knocking or banging could be due to pipe expansion or system pressure issues; consult a heating engineer.

Exterior is dirty or scratched

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For scratches, assess if they are superficial and can be touched up, or if professional repair is needed. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
